AN EXPLANATION,

The following card which we sent
ont last week explains why the
WoRKMEN's ADVOCATE, for the first
time since its establishment, failed
to make its appearance last week:
New HAVEN Dec. 0, 1887.
To the Sections, s. L. p, our agents and
advertisers:
An unlocked, for misfortune befell ia
l'st night, in the destruction of one of
our forms just as it was being taken to
the press.room a few blocks from our
office. Through the careessness of the
teamsters, the heavy form of type fell,
face downward, upon the stone pave
ment OF Chapel street. completely pie
Ing 1t and running the face of the type.
This unfortunate and costly occurrence
viii necessitate the purchase of new ma
turlal and prevents our issue this week.
We shall, nevertheless, make up the full
number of fifty two issues before the end
OF the year, and ask the indulgence of
our friends for our failure to appear this
week. Respectfully, THE PUBLISHER.
We can assure our readers that we
felt very tired that night, and, to
tell the truth, are not rested yet.
We expect that the Express Com
pany will make good tho direct loss,
while we shall have to stand Incl
dental losses.
At any rate, here we are again, and
we trust that our readers will be az
glad to welcome their little visitor az
We are to serve them with it.

HARD CONNECTICUT FACTS
The Bureau OF Labor Statistics Pre-
sents Some Cold Figures,

Many a workingman will recog-
nizc in the following (frst) report of
the Connecticut Commissioner of
Labor Statistics certain disagreeably
familiar features. But the bureau
is organized to obtain facts, and
whether they are pleasing or not
they must be known. MISERY loves
company" they say, and the facts
and figures presented by Commits
sioner lIotchkiss will, in the event
of the truth of that assertion, bring
that sort of comfort to les misera6les, ),
each may know that he is not es-
pecially the child Of misfortune, and
knowing this, perhaps workingmen
may come to reason together and find
out what special necessity there is, if
any, for their contemplate condi-
ton.
THE REPORT.
The following is an abstract of the re-
ports of forty six families, for the month
of October, 1887, furnished to the bureau
of labor statistics by the persons them
selves. These are taken at random from
all parts of the State and embrace twen-
ty-nine representative trades and occu-
pations, and will indicate the line of in
vestigation the bureau is pursuing. This
will he followed by other statements from
time to time.

Once in q while a republican paper
is candid enough to admit and tell the
truth, as for example the Fargo Argus,
speaking Of the treatment Of Dakota
in respect to its application for division
and admission in 1882. 1t is a bit OF
history that ought to be remembered
when it is undertaken to denounce the
democracy tor refusing to admit Da.
kota. 1t says hat in that year, when
the republicans were in possession Of
both branches of congress and the
presidency: The two republican
senators from Maine headed the
mob that defeated this
wise and Just measure. Senator
Voorhees,, Congressman Wise and
other democrats favored the measures
republican opposition defeated it.

churches, schools and intelligence

Encourage your hsme Newspaper;
It is your best friend-the ever. watch

If you are unable to give it pecuniary
aid you can at least give it your en-.

Of the frontier editor is thorny enough
ut best. and beset with many a care
and heart.ache that the world at large
knows nothing of. Don't frown, and,
grumble, even if this weeks paper
wasn't as good as last; you will get the
worth of your money, anyway; never
fear. It is not often you find a news
paper that is not worth the price of its
subscription; not often. And its

AN OUTRAGEOUS MONOPOLY.

The details of recent meeting Of
| the salt manufacturers Of the United
States are reported from Pittsburg.
1t appears that the scheme, for some
time under consideration, Of uniting
all the representatives Of this industry
in a great pool, or trust, is now in &
fair way to be carried out. Delegates
from Michigan, New York and Ohio,
the three states in which the principa|
manufactures of salt are situated, were
present at this meeting and drew out
the outlines Of an agreement. The
sixty-three firms under this syndicate
will discharge all their business under
a central body, chosen by the federated
companies. I. is proposed to govern
the production and the price of salt
precisely as the production and price
Of anthracite coal are fixed. The
managers Of the amalgamated company
will meet in their Office, decide how
much they want to charge the people
for salt during the next year, figure
out to how many tons production must
be limited in order to extort this price
from the people. and then assign to
each local company its quota OF pro.
duction and its share of the spoils.
Nor is there anything whatever, ~
things now stand. to prevent them
carrying out a programme religiously
followed every season by the coal
barons.
What is it that makes such swind.
ling operations possiblei The answer
is easy. There is now imposed on i'm
ported salt 4 duty Of about a 100 per
cent. This has been maintained in
order that we might ''protect" aud
''develop" the industry Of making salt
at home. And, when the infant in
dustry has thus been fed At the peoples
expense until it has developed a stall
wart appetite, it employs its powers in
the usual way; to swindle the people
by means of the monopoly created for
its particular benefit. OF all the ar
ticles upon which a tariff is levied,
there is none, perhaps, more deserving
Of a place upon the free list than this
commonest of table necessaries. MOI
is the question m abstract one for the
farmers of the Northwest. Al the
New York Commercial Advertiser puts
it, salt is a raw material in cheese
and butter making, cattle feeding and
meat packing-three interests that ex.
coed the salt making interest ten.fold,
and that deserve to be encouraged and
fostered quite as much Is it." Our
dairy men are paying to-day an I'm.
naturally high price for the silt which
they use, in order that the manufact.
urers may be enabled 70 combine to
limit production and thus to raise the
price to the full limit Of 100 per cent
shove the cost of foreign salt; which
increase this absurd and iniquitous
item Of our tariff laws encourages and
invites. Let the people Of the great
dairy states anticipate the salt monop-
oily BY instructingt their representatives.
with no uncertain voice, to secure the
repeal Of the salt duty at the coming
session Of congrea.-N PAU Pioneer
